Methodist Movers

The Methodist Movers are important to the life of Pryor First United Methodist Church, and as a member of the Movers we are among a long line of people who have shared the faith and led others in the work of Jesus Christ. The Movers are a group of retired members of the church who get together once a month for fellowship and lunch. We welcome everyone in the church who is retired to join the group. We meet on the second Thursday of the month in Fellowship Hall for our lunch, which may be prepared by various members or catered. Our programs range from speaker to entertainer and we are blessed to have so many talented singers in our church.
